Re: Work
Qp represents heat at a constant pressure. Qp can also be represented by the change of enthalpy, also known as delta H. We use qp in an equation for a reaction at constant pressure that involves solids or liquids where pressure x the change in volume is insignificant and cant be used in the equation.

Re: Work
Hello, qp represents the transfer of heat while pressure is held constant. In the equation you listed, the change in internal energy (deltaU) is equal to the transfer of heat at constant pressure (qp) plus the work done by the system on its container. If pressure is held constant but there is a change in the moles of gas, that means the volume of the container must change, requiring energy to be used as work.

Re: Work
qp is measuring the heat that gets absorbed or released at a constant pressure
delta H = qp which is also equal to delta U and PdeltaV
delta H = qp which is also equal to delta U and PdeltaV
